New meme for those who want to show enthusiasm but don’t want to fully commit to purchasing LOL oh man owned "New meme for those who practice responsible consumer practices even in regard to frivolous hobbies like collecting action figures GOTTEM!" Don't think responsibly, just consume product and then get excited for more product.

I keep seeing people say "people actively rooting for this to fail". Genuine question; who is doing that? I know there are people who said they can't/are not backing it for whatever reasons, but I haven't seen anyone saying "HAHA I can't wait for this thing to not get funded!" or anything along those lines. The amount of people who feel any criticism/realistic thinking towards this crowdfund means people are rooting for it to fail, heavily out weighs the people who actually want it to fail. The amount of people I see tripping over themselves to bootlick and shame other collectors is ridiculous.

(Est time zone) 8am: 1743 9am: 1748 (+5) 10am: 1766 (+18) 11am: 1777 (+11) 12pm: 1786 (+11) 1pm: 1796 (+10) 2pm: 1807 (+11) 3pm: 1818 (+11) 4pm: 1829 (+11) 5pm: 1832 (+3) 6pm: 1848 (+16) Hours left: 9 Average needed per hour: ~350 24 Hours later and we are still at less than 2k. A total of 255 people backed in that time frame. So we are a little under 2 weeks from this, they've added Steiner and it's gotten ~100 extra backers from the 1998 on the 8th. It needs just over 180 backers a day to reach 5k by the deadline.

It got like 1 backer today. This is not going to move to any significant degree til the final day

This is not going to move to any significant degree til the final day That's gonna be a huge hurdle, assuming this trend continues it'll be at the very best 45% backed and then you are hoping it more than doubles the amount of backers it got over a month+ in a single day and that to just get it made. INB4 "The New Gen Arena did it", it didn't, it was at 60% 2 weeks before the funding ended and the thing that pushed was the Macho early bird and once it hit 5k it took off even farther because it was guaranteed to get made. This has nothing to do that, requires more backers and is nearly double the price.

Sorry, just wanted to make sure we covered all the bases.

This has nothing to do that, requires more backers and is nearly double the price. Well one of three things will happen 1) a few people will back on the final day but it won’t be enough and it isn’t a successful campaign 2) it manages to scrape to 5k on the final day 3) a mixture of FOMO, and reselling businesses/toy shops etc move the numbers in a big way and the campaign picks up some serious momentum again The fact that they’re screwing international people will make 3 rather difficult. So I think 2 is most likely. In retrospect the fact that they botched the early bird is why it’s make or break on the final day. If they’d run with Steiner from the beginning and had him be limited to a 10 day window and then gone (like macho last time) then you drive those numbers up early. And then you end up in a situation where you cross 5k, and maybe later backers don’t get steiner but they’re actually guaranteed the stage at the time they’re backing. About 500 people backed the new gen arena who didn’t get Macho. Which is 1/4 of the number of people who backed the nitro arena lol

You forgot that I shouldn't be saying realistic negative things because it might drive away people who haven't backed and that I should be shilling doing my duty as a community member and spreading the word.

I just don't see anything that would cause it to sell over double the amount it did in a month in a single day. It doesn't have the momentum, hype or quote frankly interest the New Gen Arena did especially with Macho.

I’m canceling if it doesn’t at least unlock Warrior. I cannot justify spending roughly $440 for just wanting 2-3 figures. Yes I can try to sell the stage but for how much? Maybe $200-$250? Then I’m paying like $200-$240 roughly for the 2-3 figures.

Then I’m paying like $200-$240 roughly for the 2-3 figures. I'm pretty much in the same boat. I went back and forth on whether or not I wanted to spend nearly $800 on something I have no interest in outside of the figures, and eventually justified it by convincing myself I needed all 5. But only two? I'm more than likely going to just pull the trigger and cancel

Just a thought, that’s all
